Any ideas for a name? :)

hey getting a new Emp tomorow and was wondering does anyone wanna help me name him hes a male and hes 5" long, my other emperor scorpions name is Titan!

Mini-me!

well, loads of people call there scorpions big impressive names, so to be a bit different i called my 4 H. spinifer; fluffy, squishy, cuddles and furball... so maybe you dont want my advice lol!

Lets see, I call my scorpions:

Androctonus Crassicauda, Pandinus Imperator, Babycurus Jacksoni, etc. (catch my drift )

I'm not really the big "naming" guy!

My bugs have boring names (either species, or designations such as "the big female"), but all my cats are named after families of mites.

We have Eriophyid, Phytoseiid, and Tetranychid. They're Eri, Phyto, and Tetra for short.

You should call him some northern mythologic names

Thor (thundergod), Odin (king of the gods) or Tyr (god of war)... Just a few

good name, and good band \m/ (sorry for being of topic, couldnt resist)

You should only name it Cronos if it cannibalizes its young.

I don't get it with all the big / scary / evil names for a little bug. Sure, they're pointy and pinchy and venomous, but . . .

just got back from the shop, WOW hes a lot bigger than expected! anyway i set up his tank and his substrate and have bought a thermostat for his mat. as soon as i put him in he wnt and dug out the back of one of his hides then went straight into his water bowl and drank from there for about 20 minutes and now hes hiding out with only his massive chela hanging out! !!! his name is Behemoth!!

Go for the flip side and call her 'Tiny'

All the better reason to give your scorpion a non-threatening name and make it an ambassador to arachnophobes. (Pink-toe tarantulas and large forest scorpions are particularly well-suited to this task.)
